I trying hard not to think too much bout matters of state but
only of estate. And dis week I want to ask some questions that might be pun de
mind but not de lips!

Fuh example, how does Chris Sinckler wake up and face each
day, does he feel bright and bubbly when he wake up or feel like someone suck
the very energy outa he and mek he de face of pain? Does he feel unloved? Alone
pun de deck? How he does face each day knowing dat nothing seem to be working
and he getting blame while others ducking? Does he feel like a villain or a
movie star?

Forget Chris fuh a minute or two, de girls dat does sell sex
round de Garrison Savannah, do they have boyfriends and do they do it for
pleasure sometimes? If so, is it different from when dem get paid to do it? Do
they go home after a night at work to a partner and moan bout having a hard
night at work? Lie down and cuddle with a loved one?

And if dem got partners, wha dese partners does be thinking
when dem get dress to go to work? What do you say when them leaving, hope you
have a nice night at work honey and don’t work too hard? Remember to bring home
de bacon?

Minister of health John Boyce, de man wid de golden voice
want to know where retired Dean of the Medical Faculty of de UWI, Professor
Henry Fraser get he information bout severe shortages at the Q.E.H? Fur real
Johnny? Where you think a man who spend he whole life at the Q.E.H. and UWI
medical faculty would get information? The first test in the Rotary four way
test is, “is it the truth” I notice Johnny dat you did not challenge Prof pun
truthfulness!

Government don’t have money to buy basic necessities fuh de
hospital where in heaven’s name we gine get half a billion plus to build a new
one? Winning de New York Mega Millions Lottery?

Why we don’t finish de David Thompson Polyclinic which
tekking years to complete before we start a more expensive one?

Which planet de leadership of de public workers union living
pun wid de proposals to solve what a member of the upper house called de “physical
deficit?” More taxation, collecting outstanding VAT and so on, and could Miss Redman
explain how cutting salaries in de private sector gine help government, surely
dat gine mean less revenue from taxation and other deductions fuh government?

Next, can airline pilots who may be having personal issues
call into work and say I not coming in because I got “personal problems?” Can I
be excused from work for the next three months?

Wha bout Priests, can they cancel Mass because of personal
problems? Can Fruendel driver call Ilaro court and say “tell de skipper I got
personal probems and I not driving he fuh de next few weeks?”

Can a CEO abandon ship at de height of de busiest season and
not return to work for a long time because of “personal problems?”

How then is it that a West Indian batsman can fail to join
the team fuh a tour because of personal problems and two other players abandon
a tour when de team tottering and go home because of personal problems? What personal
problems dem got? Somebody dead, somebody getting horn?

Time to stop mekking sport and play sports!

I Market Vendor gone fuh now, you have a blessed and a
wonderful day, yuh hear?
